Buying Guide | Retail store insurance online in Canada
Every. Penny. Counts. Six years ago, the Royal Canadian Mint stopped distributing pennies and people started rounding up and rounding down. While finding a loose penny in a pocket or purse is now a nostalgic event, businesses in Canada, especially retail stores, have never underestimated the value of a penny. On a single item, one cent can put your retail business in the black. Across hundreds, thousands or millions of SKUs, one cent can add up to retail profitability.
The evolving art of Canadian retailing
Retailers have long recognized how small tweaks, specifically designed to attract the attention of consumers, can quickly add up to big change. Local maple syrup products artfully displayed during sugaring season. Hand-printed, bespoke t-shirts featuring esoteric designs curated by a renowned street artist. Emoji-fied loss leaders grabbing attention in the subject lines of e-flyers that read like e-newsletters. Buying for a retail store requires insight, creativity and a keen eye for good value.
Getting product exactly where consumers will buy it is just one piece of the puzzle. Every decision you make running a retail store comes with choices. From advertising to security and everywhere in between as well as beyond, you have a lot on your plate as a Canadian retailer.
